In the 1950s and 1960s, no railroad could top the steam program of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. The railroad operated more than 260
steam trips that carried more than 100,000 riders and left impressions
on countless more trackside admirers. With well-honed photojournalistic
sensibilities, John E. Gruber portrayed these trips as the events they
were, capturing the power of their locomotives, the pride of their
railroaders, and the wonder they inspired. This book presents nearly 100
of his best black-and-white photographs from the collection of the
Center for Railroad Photography & Art, along with essays and
interviews by Norman Carlson and Justin Franz.
